Hmmm. They've done this at my last place, which I've left. £800 for current members and ....wait for it.....£500 !!!!! for new members. Previous members cannot rejoin unless they have been away for three years. Glad I'm not there really. It would have done my nut in when they offered this for new members. Apparently the new Captain, a friend of mine there, suggested, well not suggested but TOLD THEM in no uncertain terms that they must do something or go under. This was obvious at the AGM. It's worked though!!!! I'm glad for him. otherwise his Captaincy would have been a bit of a strain.

People who drive into a car park through the exit, and then call you rude names when they nearly have a head on accident.

That doesn't narrow it down these days unfortunately. And the next generation will be even worse.

They just seem to have no idea how to discipline their children.
As you say it will only get worse

The water was lovely, plenty of swimming, and we had a great time overall. Just don't like people that invade my space. Think I will wear my speedo's next time, that should frighten them off.
Unstitch the letter S on them, that'll do the trick 😊👍

^^^^what kind of discipline would you have in mind??
I used to reckon this, then I had 2 nutcases, it’s really difficult. My old man would have given me a slap, it’s not 1979 anymore
What annoys me the most is when other people ‘offer’ advice. .....not helping

I got no tea, get to your room, not allowed out to play, toys confiscated, no golf, and yes a slap if I deserved it.

It usually comes down to lazy parenting.
Kids need to be taught from the start what is acceptable behaviour and what isn’t.
See parents that just stick a iPad in front of their kids to keep them quiet,even see this in restaurants.
Again lazy parenting.

That’s fairly standard. If we went out, I’d take a book or comic, my kids might take an iPad, what’s the difference? Dinner out with ur parents is boring.
Slapping isn’t acceptable nor is withholding food as a punishment, that leaves removal of some privileges. Not much to work with? Ultimately at times, school holidays etc the easy option is used too often.

Anyone that allows their child to sit at the dinner table watching a tablet is a lazy parent & are just taking the easy option.
How about talking to each other & learning them some manners.

You are correct of course. I should be teaching them a number of things. We could start with grammar, followed by the importance of not being judgemental???

Those same people would probably inflate their life jacket before exiting the aircraft [in the unfortunate event it was ever needed].

*grammar* my boys are brilliant, I wouldn’t change them for the world. Spirited, intelligent, single minded, creative. I’ve no real issue with them playing up in public, especially when it irritates those judgemental types who don’t know any background.

Yeah it’s great to see kids playing up in public.

Kids want your time and your attention. Give them both and you are on the right road.
